Question 1196741: How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0 m wide intersection after the light turns green , If the car accelerates from rest at a constant of 2.00 m/s^2?
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 s for a distance of 110 m .determine the acceleration of the car.

(a) How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0 m wide intersection after the light turns green ,
If the car accelerates from rest at a constant of 2.00 m/s^2?
(b) A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 s
for a distance of 110 m .determine the acceleration of the car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a) Use the formula for a distance at uniformly accelerated rectilinear movement

        D = ,     (1)

where D is the traveled distance, "a" is the acceleration, t is the time.


Substitute given values into the formula D = 30 m, a = 2.00 m/s^2

      30 = .


You have an equation for time t. Express t

    t^2 =  = 30;  t =  = 5.48 seconds.


ANSWER.  5.48 seconds.

Solved.

-------------

Solve your second problem similarly, starting from the same formula (1).

Or post your second problem separately.

Never pack more than problem per post. It is a rule of this forum.
